Overview

About 29 St James Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

29 St James Road is a mid-terrace house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8SS). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in October 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 sits 261.4% above the 1998 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£48/sq ft) was about 60.8% below the postcode norm.
